jsPerf over github.com gists

[drpicox]

After many many tries, I have desisted from using jsPerf. It eventually classifies me as a spammer, or it fails, or whatever, and refuses to save or execute my work.

There is an alternative to get rid of all auth problems, spammers, minimize the amount of required database, and at the same time keep that great app working: use gists.

¿Is it possible to create a form to use a GitHub gist as a performance experiment, and execute it from the platform?
¿Is it possible to register the gist, so the platform lists it like any other experiment?
¿Is it possible to use GitHub API to clone a performance gist almost automatically?

Thanks in advance for that great work.

The repository lives at http://github.com/jsperf/jsperf.com nowadays. Feel free to submit a PR there. Thanks!

Have you seen esbench? It's similar to jsperf (both powered by benchmark.js) but supports transpiling and seems to be a bit more-stable/less-spam-hit. Would you be open to simply deferring folks to it?
